Bio
Anne Marieke Ezendam
Diana Gordon is a highly professional individual, whose coaching has helped me greatly to develop analytic skills on my own She was head of the high yield desk when I worked for her. Her credit record is excellent and I believe it is time for her to run her own team. Having been part of her team in the past I can say that her training was very important to me. The list of the people who have worked for her, and have been trained by her is very impressive and their subsequent career will say more than my words.
Andrew Wilmont
"To whom it may concern, Diana was one of my managers in my first job in London. Having already had experience as a Portfolio Manager in the US High Yield market, she taught me the analytical skills necessary to work in the newly created European High Yield market. She is analytical, detailed, and a good people manager. Allows people to develop their responsibilities but there if needed with advice and leads by example. In my opinion, Diana would be a credit to any organisation that would like to expand its Credit capabilities."
